Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Go for  the low hanging fruit first. Don’t spin your wheels trying to grab the big prize and run out of resources while you’re reaching. Take note of the little events that occur all around you during the day. They may bring unexpected opportunities that help you grab the little successes that are hanging all around you. They will keep you going as things pick up and carry you to the bigger rewards down the road.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we get so focused on the big events that we miss all the little opportunities along the way. Stop and smell the roses isn’t just a euphemism that’s nice to think about. It has value and truth to it as well.

Those little stops bring you little successes. Those little successes can fund the next section of your journey. Each one building on the previous accomplishment takes you higher up the ladder where you can finally reach for, and more importantly attain your bigger goals or dreams.

The big events don’t come along very often in life. If you wait for them to happen to celebrate, you’ll miss out on a lot of little things that you can’t get back. So don’t move on down the road and think I wish I had stopped to see that when…; or I had an opportunity to do that once.

Those regrets may make it harder for you to reach for that brass ring because you could have made a contact, created an opportunity out of the little event that would have gotten you to the brass ring quicker. Or maybe you would have learned a valuable lesson or acquire much-needed information that makes all the difference to your own personal journey.

Don’t be afraid to stop and listen to musician in the subway station. Or watch the grounds keepers cut a pattern in the grass.  Sometimes it’s the little things in life, that make life interesting.

Every wonder how they make those patterns in the grass?
3-Time Sprint Cup Champion Tony Stewart did too.
Stop and take note of the little things in life. They’re what make life interesting.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be proud of your crowning achievement. It’s your legacy to the world. Whither it’s your children, something you’ve created, or even your reputation among your family, friends and piers. You have worked so hard to create your legacy. Use it as your strength to stand tall and persevere.

Additional Insight:

Going through trials and challenges can be difficult. But each step you take builds strength. Sometimes we need to remember what we have already created in order to use that strength to get through the next doorway.

You have worked hard to create the person within you. And while you may have additional items you want to change and improve, you have already come a very long way.

It’s important to remember that it takes a great deal of courage to look within and be honest with yourself. To make an effort to change the things you don’t like and put the effort into creating the things you do like. Whither that’s becoming a better parent, spouse, friend, boss, or simply a better person; it’s the effort and attention you put into the work that makes the difference.

Be proud of yourself and what you have created in your life. You deserve the self recognition and confidence it brings. So when those days arrive that you need a little extra boost of energy, you can look within, remember who you are and stand tall over the accomplishments and goals you have already achieved.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Set your sights on the fall and primarily October. All the work you’re doing will come to fruition and you’ll finally feel like things have turned around. That doesn’t mean you need to worry about things till then. Just the opposite. Know that you have a little more to do in order for everything to be fully manifested.

Additional Insight:

Wands represent magik, creative energy, inspiration, and enterprise. Reversed they can indicate issues with any of these components.

Several times this winter you’ve started to get discouraged and depressed because things aren’t moving along as quickly as you desire. You’ve been reminded from several sources that others have a part to play in your success and they have their piece of the puzzle to complete. This is the ‘enterprise’ of your project or plans.

Things are moving more quickly, but there’s still work to be done. Both on your part and on the part of others you’re depending on. Your creative energy still needs to be inspired and tended to.

Don’t give up! Implement the ideas you’ve had in the back of your head and get things moving on your end. You still have your own things to work on and give energy to. You still have plans to get ready to hit the ground running when it’s time. There’s no reason to think anything is done or over with or that you’ve failed.

Everything happens in its right time. It’s hard for us to see what that is sometimes and why we’re seemingly made to continue to suffer. That type of thinking is part of the reason. You’re thoughts are creating the blocks. Stop it! You can do this! But you must stop the negative thoughts that are creating reverse actions and delaying your progress.

Please remember; You CAN do this! Because you are one with the Divine creative energy of the Universe around you.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Abundance is all around you today. And not just the money kind either. Enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Mark the day with an act of love and allow the abundance of compassion and caring to fill you up. Share your love with that special someone, be that your parents, your kids, your extended family or your animal family members. Love comes in many forms and each one can be that special berry that puts a smile on your face!

Additional Insight:

Money doesn’t buy you happiness or love. Having “things” on one special day of the year doesn’t truly show someone you love them. You might enjoy giving the dozen roses, or count on receiving a special gift. But those “things” only last a short time.

The abundance of love, comes from showing respect to those you care about.

Respecting those you love enough to listen and actually hear what they have to say. Allowing them to share their day with you, as they allow you to share yours with them. Asking questions and being attentive, look each other in the eye as you speak. These are acts of respect and love.

If you’re out to dinner and that special someone is talking to you, what kind of respect are you showing with your eyes glued to your cell phone?

Above all else, people want to know they are loved through the little things you do all year long. Listening and hearing what’s being said is one of the most important parts of that. Knowing that you have value to someone else, that you’re important and that your presence matters in their life are all little things we think about. But sometimes we don’t do anything about.

Don’t sit there and merely think “wow she looks beautiful today”. Or watch him shaving and think “I do love those big shoulders”. Actually say it out loud to them. You’ll be amazed at how those little things go a long way over time when the world intrudes on your day. This special day of love isn’t exclusively for couples. It should extend to you and your family, your kids, your parents and your extended family as well. Don’t forget to tell them all how you feel about them and how much they mean to you.

And if there is strain between those who are special in your life and you, today is the perfect day to speak up and have a conversation. You may find that you both have had hurt feelings based on assumptions, old wounds that sparked old hurts and in fact, you really do still love and need each other a great deal.

Abundance of money means nothing if you don’t have someone to share the rewards with. So for today, acknowledge all the little things you do have, right there in front of you. The intangible things that fill your baskets to overflowing joy and love.

Happy Valentines One and All.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Let your inspiration feed your magik today. Take time to think things through and you’ll easily find the solution to untie the bindings that are holding you captive. Your frustrations are keeping you from seeing the path ahead and taking the right cross-road. So relax. It’s going to be ok. You will find the way through the dark forest.

Additional Insight:

Sometimes we can allow stress and anxiety build up so much that it not only clouds our judgement, but it also blinds us from seeing. Your conflicting desires are making it harder to see through the fog and find the creative solution. Stop dwelling on what you “might’ have to do, and focus on what you truly can do, in order to resolve the pressing matters of the day.

You will have to sit down and decide once and for all what you want. You’re putting a lot of energy into something that may not occur. Instead of focusing on the real tangible activities that lay before you. Be careful you don’t lose what you really want in the process. What’s truly the most important thing to you, in the here and now? (Not what’s imperative. What’s really important!?)

Right now you are tugging on the ropes and only making them tighter. Stop the struggle and panic. Relax and balance your energies between the physical actions and the spiritual visions.

It’s another case of aligning yourself with the Divine in your life. Raise your vibrational energy out of the hole you’ve dug and move up above the forest. From a higher view you’ll be able to see the path through the woods and guide your steps accordingly.

It’s hard to stop worrying. But you can do this. Let your magik flow with innovation and creativity. You can, because you are one with the Divine energy of the Universe!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

You are surrounded by love, even if you don’t feel you are. You’re allowing your own inner criticisms to cut new wounds and open old ones. As you allow your thoughts to spin through your mind, you wrap the vine of self punishment tighter and tighter. Keep doing that and it’s going to be hard for anyone to help you get free.

Additional Insight:

You keep doing the same things that got you here and they’re not working. Stop taking on all the responsibility and start opening your heart, mind and ears to those who love you. Listen to their counsel and implement some of their ideas.

Sometimes all you need to do is hear what’s being said and you can find help right in front of you. Your negative thoughts and anxiety are forcing you into a hole where all you can do is watch the vines grow and restrict your actions further. Keep doing that and you won’t be able to reach out for help.

Take some time for a good and honest look at your situation. How much have you been talking down to yourself, taking on the world and doing it alone. How much of that is because you refuse to ask for help; or take in the help that has been offered to you? You don’t have to go it alone, so why are you so intent on doing so.

Take in a deep breath, let go of the blame, the guilt, the negative self talk and hate. It will not serve you. Release all that negativity like a gray smoke that floats into the depths of the Divine Universe and dissipates; no longer causing harm to you or anyone else.

Now take in a deep breath and fill your entire body with the clear and vibrant yellow energy of Divine creation and success. Swallow the self ego that has kept you in the corner alone. Force yourself to smile and find that one person in your life who will hold you and love you no matter what. Tell them you need their help and ask them to talk with you today. Work out issues together and allow their love to inspire your creativity and determination to conquer! Forget about enduring the storm. That’s over with. Now it’s time to take on winds of change, use them to your advantage and win the war!

You can do this! Use this years motto to get you through the rest of the week to remind yourself of that. No longer are you striving to endure. You are walking WITH the winds of change and you will conquer the day!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Stress and anxiety plague the day as you struggle against the ties that bind you. Remember that what you want, you must give to others. Keeping your nose to the grind stone may have adverse effects on what’s really important in your life. Be cautious. Someone is calling out for your attention. You may have noticed, you may have listened; but did you really hear.

Additional Insight:

When confronted with challenges, some people focus so much on solving the problem that they lose sight of what they’re working so hard for. Others yell and scream releasing their anxiety and pushing those they want to care for further away. And some shut down and go within, knowing if they do say something it may only make things worse. Leaving them to feel even more lost and alone then the situation has created.

Relationships are complex things and they take work to maintain. Everyone wants to be “heard” when they communicate. It’s not enough to talk and listen, if you don’t actually hear what’s being said.  But remember words are only a small piece of the communication we have with others. Our actions too play a key role. The words mean nothing, if the action isn’t behind them.

But the actions mean nothing, if the words don’t support them as well. You can’t do the little things and expect others to feel fulfilled if you’re not hearing what they say. It takes both words and actions to make things work. Having one without the other only lets those around you feel let down, un-appreciated and pushed away.

Take time today to give your attention to those around you who need it most. Actually hear what they have to say. Don’t turn the conversation around to be all about you. Let go of your ego to be the one who needs the peep talk and show your love, support and your respect to them. They will return the favor. But today, they need you to be there for them.
